Sound Engineer and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Highly Spiritual Music, Kaywa has disclosed that he never signed a contract with the ‘Friday Night’ hitmaker, Lasmid.
According to him, Lasmid’s journey at Highly Spiritual was through his investments.
He explained that after Lasmid was crowned the winner for MTN Hitmaker season 8, he was brought to his label by MTN to help him release songs and videos for one year with a seed capital of GHc40,000.
Kaywa added that after he was through with his one-year contract, he wanted the musician to stay because he knew Lasmid had the potential but the latter refused.
“There was nothing like even a contract in the first place. MTN gave Lasmid to me for one year with GHC40,000 to produce two songs and two videos.
After a year, his time is over and he was sad because it was over. He wanted to stay; I wanted him to stay. I personally called him with some people and I said listen, I still believe in you and still believe in what you can do.”
“Let’s agree; I’ll put in every effort to push you to where you ought to get to then the conversation will be different. So, once we’re signing you to the label properly, nobody will say anything”, he explained.
Kaywa further stated that after they went to an agreement, they began to produce some songs which included one of his hit songs ‘Friday Night.’
Kaywa reveals that, when it got to the period for them to sign the contract Lasmid became reluctant and was bringing up excuses to avoid signing the contract.
He said: “He agreed, we were all happy then we started the journey. Moving on first song, second song, third song and fourth song ‘Friday Night’. So, we had to put on the contract’ sign the contract and move on.
He was desperate to even sign the contract. After making six months of changes in the contract, I said we are ready to let’s sign and he said my lawyers and I said let’s wait for your lawyers then but the lawyers were not coming”.
